For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Dose: Use a prenatal supplement that includes biotinBiotin deficiency may occur in as many as 50% of pregnant women. A prenatal multiple vitamin and mineral formula that contains biotin may help prevent a deficiency.(more)

Seborrheic Dermatitis

Dose: Refer to label instructionsBiotin injections either for the infant or the nursing mother may be an effective treatment for cradle cap.(more)

Dose: 9 to 16 mg dailyBiotin is a B vitamin needed to process glucose. When people with type 2 diabetes were given 9 mg of biotin per day for two months, their fasting glucose levels dropped dramatically.1 Biotin may also reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage.2 Some doctors try 9 to 16 mg of biotin per day for a few weeks to see if blood sugar levels will fall.

Dose: 16 mg dailyBiotin is a B vitamin needed to process glucose. When people with type 1 diabetes were given 16 mg of biotin per day for one week, their fasting glucose levels dropped by 50%.1 Biotin may also reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy).2 Some doctors try 16 mg of biotin for a few weeks to see if blood sugar levels will fall.

Biotin deficiency may occur in as many as 50% of pregnant women.1 As biotin deficiency in pregnant animals results in birth defects, it seems reasonable to use a prenatal multiple vitamin and mineral formula that contains biotin.

Preliminary studies have found that injecting either the infant or the nursing mother with biotin may be an effective treatment for cradle cap.1, 2 Studies of oral biotin have yielded mixed results in infants. Older preliminary studies and case reports suggest that 4 mg per day of oral biotin might be sufficient for mild cases of cradle cap, but 10 mg per day was required for more severe cases.3 Two more recent, controlled trials found that oral biotin (4 or 5 mg per day) produced no benefit.4, 5 Thus, the scientific support for using oral biotin to treat cradle cap is weak. The role of biotin in adult seborrheic dermatitis has not been studied.

Biotin, a B vitamin, is known to strengthen hooves in animals. As a result, Swiss researchers investigated the use of biotin in strengthening brittle fingernails in humans, despite the fact that it remains unclear exactly how biotin affects nail structure. An uncontrolled trial of 2.5 mg biotin per day found improved firmness and hardness in almost all cases after an average treatment time of 5.5 months.1 In a controlled trial using 2.5 mg of biotin per day, women with brittle nails, who had their nail thickness measured before and at six to fifteen months after, found their nail thickness increased by 25%. As a result, splitting of nails was reduced. In an uncontrolled study of people who had been taking biotin for brittle nails in America, 63% showed improvement from taking biotin.2 Although the amount of research on the subject is quite limited and positive effects do not appear in all people, those people having brittle nails may want to consider a trial period of at least several months, using 2.5 mg per day of biotin.

Just started taking these a couple days ago and I'm not expecting to see results yet, but these make me SO hungry. Beware.

I have a normal eating schedule and am a student in college. My stomach was growling horribly in class after taking these for breakfast, when normally what I eat for breakfast keeps me full til lunch. Notice it throughout the day as well...very hungry only an hour or two after eating!

so i've been struggling with my skin sinse i could remember, i went to several doctors and i was diagnosed with (Seborrhoeic dermatitis)its basically looks like dandruff (hair/face/upper back..). had too many creams shampoos, organic, chemical all kind of things .. it got even worst after my second kid (2yrs). i started taking this product 2pills twice + biotin (1000mcg) once a day for 2weeks so far, and i must say that my skin never been better! i haven't noticed any changes on my hair& nails, but i'm realy happy with what it did to my skin :)

I ride horses so I'm always outside in the sun. Dry skin, brittle nails, dry hair, etc. Since taking these ( I just do 1 a day) my nails are healthy & stronger and I can't remember the last time I had to put lotion on!! My hair takes a beating from daily blow drying and flat ironing so I don't notice much difference in texture, but its defiantly growing!! Will buy again!

I take this every morning with my breakfast (I always take my vitamins with a meal to prevent any stomach issues)and my nails are the strongest they have ever been. My hair also seems to be growing faster, which I'm happy about because I'm trying to grow it out. I'm glad to find a product that is working for me.

I Really see an improvement in my hair and nails my nails grow faster and my hair is to in the last month it grew a cm more than it usually does and im excited Im going to keep buying these. the only BAD thing is the taste that's it other wise I love it !
